Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has written to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan seeking the government’s immediate action and intervention to check the outbreak of infectious diseases and deaths due to them.
In his letter, Mr. Satheesan pointed out that the increasing incidence of dengue and leptospirosis and the deaths due to them had been creating panic amongst the public.
He pointed out that even before the monsoon had set in fully in the State, infectious diseases and deaths seemed to spike and this was something that needed to be looked into. The situation seemed to be worse in the State’s hill districts and this called for emergency control measures, he said.
